The Dear Troll Doll of North Korea is once more trying to deny, lie and hide the full extent of his nuclear weapons program.  While some people might claim that their is little proof of an NK enriched uranium program the evidence is their, straight from the mouth of A.Q. Khan, who gave them the know how and equipment to undertake such a program.  Modern nuclear weapons often have both Pu-239 and U-235 for fissile material, not one or the other, therefore it is only logical that any nation with nuclear ambitions would pursue both plutonium generating reactors and uranium enrichment methods such as gas centerfuges or gasseous difussion.

More for the China Post: Six-party talks at a critical stage.

     The six-party talks hosted by China on North Korea's nuclear weapons program have reached a critical stage, and signs are that while the disabling of the nuclear reactor at Yongbyon is going well, the overall denuclearization of the Korean peninsula may be in jeopardy.

     As a result, North Korea may not meet the Dec. 31 deadline of making a full and complete declaration of its nuclear programs.

     The problem is that the United States insists that Pyongyang address allegations that it had a covert program to produce nuclear weapons by using highly enriched uranium (HEU).

     This issue caused the collapse of the 1994 U.S.-North Korea accord, under which Pyongyang agreed to freeze its Yongbyon reactor. In return, Washington promised to provide heavy fuel oil and two light-water reactors. But soon after it came into office in 2001, the new Bush administration accused North Korea of having violated the agreement by establishing a covert HEU program.
